Chapter 756: Doll-making, the Night King's advanced insights
Yun Mujiu originally planned to have Princess Gaoyang arrange Wu Mingwei's marriage as soon as possible. However, she did not expect that the followers of Doctor Wu were so bad that they actually slowed down Wu Mingwei's release from prison.
Yun Mujiu expected that when Wu's followers could not find out the truth and could not keep their footing, they would want to go to the prison to see Wu. At that time, Wu was in the most critical situation. The emperor did not respond, he and his daughter were not feeling well, and his connections were of no help. They all came to inform him of the progress of the investigation with sad faces.
The emperor disliked Divine Doctor Wu, but he would not deliberately let his subordinates stop Divine Doctor Wu's people from visiting the prison. On the one hand, the emperor was forced to protect Divine Doctor Wu and his daughter due to the pressure from the Night Palace. On the other hand, the emperor also wanted to see what Divine Doctor Wu's connections were useful for, but the result disappointed him greatly - those people could not do anything, they were really useless!
As Yun Mujiu expected, after seeing the followers who had waited so hard for him, Doctor Wu finally gave up the idea of escaping from prison by relying on his own power and connections. It seemed that he could only give up his last trump card.
Two days later, Doctor Wu asked the jailer to help pass a message, saying that he had an important matter to discuss with the emperor.
Zong Quan first sent someone to suppress the news temporarily, and then sent someone to report to the Night Prince's Mansion, and prepared to send someone to send a message back to the palace. After receiving a clear reply from the Night Prince's Mansion, he began to send a message to the emperor.
Later, the emperor's reply came back, allowing him to see Wu. However, the emperor did not come to the government office to see Wu, but had someone secretly take Wu to the palace. The two stayed in the imperial study for a while, and finally Wu was taken back to the prison.
Wu Mingwei was released from prison the next day, and the government announced the reason as follows: "Since Dr. Wu admitted that he had bad intentions towards the prince, it further highlights the fact that there is insufficient evidence against Wu Mingwei as a suspect."
As for what the emperor and Doctor Wu discussed and what deal they made, no one knew it better than Ye Xiaohan, Yun Mujiu and other people in the Ye Palace.
The Queen, Crane King, Maple King and other people from different factions only guessed that Divine Doctor Wu had promised the Emperor benefits, but they were not clear about the specific situation. Crane King was thoughtful, and he had a powerful maternal clan and a favored maternal concubine behind him, so he guessed step by step that Divine Doctor Wu had given the Emperor benefits in medical books and medicines.
In the Ye Palace, Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan had just finished their meal in the flower hall. They picked up their handkerchiefs and gently wiped the corners of their mouths.
Ye Xiaohan glanced at Yun Mujiu inconspicuously. The person in front of him had fair skin and a hint of blood on his cheeks, which was not as pale as he had been in the past few days. He still remembered that when Mujiu first came to the Yewang Mansion, his face was pale without a trace of blood.
Ye Xiaohan raised a tiny arc at the corner of his mouth, thinking: It seems that I have taken good care of it and didn't spoil that stubborn wild flower...
Yun Mujiu drank tea and let her mind wander for a while. She was thinking about things related to Divine Doctor Wu. Although the lack of support from Divine Doctor Wu's followers led to Wu Mingwei's late release from prison, which in turn delayed the time of Wu Mingwei's wedding banquet that she had expected.
But it doesn’t matter, what is meant to come will come, there is no need to rush.
Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu had different thoughts, so they got up and planned to take a walk to digest their food.
Butler Zeng followed behind, his old face smiling like a brilliant chrysanthemum. It was rare for the prince and princess to have free time together, so of course they would like to stay a little longer, accompany each other, and promote their relationship.
Alas! It's a pity that the prince and princess are not very convenient recently, otherwise this old man would really like to remind them: "Prince, princess, do you think the Night Palace is a bit deserted? How about we add some people?"
As for how to add people, of course it is not to recruit a group of extra servants into the house, but -
— —The prince and princess are making a little baby!
Yun Mujiu and Ye Xiaohan walked side by side in the back garden, completely unaware of what Butler Zeng was muttering behind them. Ye Xiaohan felt a burning gaze, turned around, and instantly fixed his gaze on Butler Zeng.
Butler Zeng's smile froze and he nodded to the prince.
Ye Xiaohan's eyebrows moved slightly, he retracted his cold gaze, turned around and continued walking.
Butler Zeng patted his chest, and frightened the old man to death. But the prince shouldn't be able to see his thoughts, right? He obviously didn't say anything, didn't do anything, he was just imagining the lively scene in the Night Palace in the future.
Ye Xiaohan glanced at Yun Mujiu with the corner of his eye, and the corner of his lips curved. Butler Zeng's fiery eyes could be hidden from others, but not from him.
He knew that Butler Zeng was old and was most concerned about the people in the mansion getting married and starting a family. Butler Zeng had occasionally talked about the young prince and the young princess before, and he also knew what Butler Zeng was fantasizing about with his passionate eyes.
He and Mu Mu still have a long time to live together, so there is no need to rush. Compared to paying attention to the so-called offspring, he hopes to stay with Mu Mu first, without anyone interfering with their relationship. At the same time, he also hopes that Mu Mu can do what he wants to do, rather than being bound by tradition.
Who says that women must take care of their husbands and children? Who says that women must focus on the continuation of the family line?
Yun Mujiu looked at the colorful flowers on both sides of the road and suddenly stopped. He turned his head sharply and met Ye Xiaohan's calm eyes.
"Ha! Prince, I caught you!" Yun Mujiu raised his face and looked up at Ye Xiaohan.
"What are you thinking about? Tell me quickly?" She thought about it, and then remembered that Ye Xiaohan suddenly turned around just now, and there was a stiff laugh from Butler Zeng behind her. "Could it be that the prince was communicating with Butler Zeng through eye contact just now?"
Ye Xiaohan shook his head, "I didn't communicate with Butler Zeng."
"Then why did you suddenly turn around to look at him?"
“I felt someone was watching me.”
"Okay." Yun Mujiu thought she was overthinking and thought that Ye Xiaohan and Butler Zeng knew something but didn't tell her.
Ye Xiaohan bent down slightly, looked down at Yun Mujiu, and calmly said what he guessed Butler Zeng was thinking, and also expressed his views on the future of Xianghuo and even Yun Mujiu.
Yun Mujiu was shocked. At first, she felt shy about the housekeeper Zeng's worries and also thought about her having a baby.
Then, she was embarrassed and angry to talk about such private things with Ye Xiaohan. You know, they haven't consummated their marriage yet.
Finally, I was shocked that Ye Xiaohan's views were ahead of their time, and totally different from what people in this dynasty could have. Not to mention this ancient world, even in the modern world, Ye Xiaohan's views were beyond most people.
Yun Mujiu felt dizzy, and asked in a daze: "My Lord, don't you like children?"
